The Champions League playoff round sees more games on Wednesday night, so we asked AI for some Bodo Glimt Vs Sturm Graz betting tips ahead of the first-leg tie.
The next two legs of football are all that lies between these two sides and a place at European football’s top table.
Victory in the playoff round will see either Bodo Glimt or Sturm Graz progress to the 36-team league phase of the competition.
Norwegian outfit FK Bodo/Glimt are five-time winners of Norway’s top flight, and have lifted the title for the past three seasons.
They have never reached the full Champions League, but made the Europa League semi-finals last year.
Sturm Graz, meanwhile, finished fifth in the Austrian Bundesliga, having won it in 2023 and 2024.
In total, they have five Austrian titles and Austrian Cups in their history.
In Europe, they have frequently been Europa League participants, with the occasional group stage appearance in the Champions League.
Ahead of this one, the odds suggest Bodo Glimt are the clear favourites, with UK betting sites pricing the hosts at 6/10.

Bodo Glimt Vs Sturm Graz AI Betting Tips
Below, the AI has picked out its top three betting tips for Bodo Glimt Vs Sturm Graz.
You can back any or all of these before Wednesday night’s action, which kicks off at 20:00 BST, along with all the evening’s other UCL playoff ties.
1. Kasper Høgh Anytime Goalscorer – 5/2
First up, the AI points to the red-hot form of Kasper Høgh.
He’s netted 16 goals in 19 league starts and has been a consistent scorer in European matches last season.
Given his role as Glimt’s focal point up front and their aggressive, attacking style, he’s a likely beneficiary when the game opens up.
As Bodo/Glimt seize control and create more chances, the odds on Høgh scoring anytime are likely to drift, offering strong in-play value.
2. Over 2.5 Total Goals – 11/10
The second AI tip is for over 2.5 goals in the match.
It argues that Bodo/Glimt have scored freely, averaging 3.4 goals per game in recent matches and maintaining a high-scoring, entertaining style at home.
Meanwhile, Sturm Graz arrive in strong form. They too have shown goal threats and resilience, suggesting an open affair.
In play, once the first goal lands and momentum shifts, this could see both sides opt for a more attacking approach.
3. Both Teams to Score (BTTS) – 6/5
And finally, the AI backs BTTS.
Though Glimt are commanding at home, it says, Sturm Graz have the firepower to find the net with key players like Otar Kiteishvili in good form.
Bodo’s aggressive style also leaves space at the back, meaning this tie is likely to feature goals at both ends.
